2.2 Acceptance of Accounts Receivable. Bank is not obligated to finance any accounts receivable. Bank may approve any Account Debtor’s credit before financing any receivable. When Bank accepts a receivable, it will pay Borrower the Advance Rate times the face amount of the receivable (the “Advance”). Bank may, in its discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate.

Bank may, in its discretion, charge fee and Finance Charges to Borrower’s deposit account maintained with Bank.
3.1 Collections. Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivables Balance, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply Collections to the Obligation in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a payment for both Financed Receivable and a non Financed Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is not an Event of Default, the excess will be remitted to the Borrower, subject to Section 3.10.
3.2 Finance Charges. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of the Obligations three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Collections. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the “Finance Charge”), equal to the Applicable Rate times the number of days in the Reconciliation Period times the outstanding average daily Financed Receivable Balance for that Reconciliation Period. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at five percent (5%) above the Applicable Rate effective immediately before the Event of Default.
3.3 RESERVED.

3.5 Collateral Handling Fee. On each Reconciliation Day, Borrower will pay to Bank a collateral handling fee, equal to one half of one percent (.50%) per month of the average daily Financed Receivable Balance outstanding during the applicable Reconciliation Period. After an Event of Default, the Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional one half of one percent (.50%) effective immediately before the Event of Default.
3.6 Early Termination Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable early termination fee of $20,000.00 is due upon voluntary or involuntary full payment of the Obligations and termination of this Facility prior to June , 2003 unless the Obligations are paid in full from an initial advance from a loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.
3.7 Accounting. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide an accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges, the Collateral Handling Fee. If Borrower does not object to the accounting in writing within 30 days it is considered correct. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.
3.8 Deductions. Bank may deduct fees, finance charges and other amounts due from any Advances made or Collections received by Bank.
3.9 Good Faith Deposit. Borrower has paid to Bank a Good Faith Deposit of $3,000.00 to initiate Banks due diligence review process. Any portion of the deposit not utilized to pay expenses will be applied to the Facility Fee.
3.10 Account Collection Services. All Borrowers’ receivables are to be paid to the same address/or party and Borrower and Bank must agree on such address. If Bank collects all receivables and there is not an Event of Default or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within five (5) days of receipt of those collections, Bank will give Borrower, the receivables collections it receives for receivables other than Financed Receivables and/or amount in excess of the amount for which Bank has made an Advance to Borrower, less any amount due to Bank, such as the Finance Charge, Collateral Handling Fee and expenses or otherwise. This Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to do any act other than to turn over amounts. All receivables and collections are Collateral and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank need not remit collections of Collateral and may apply them to the Obligations.

4.2 Repayment on Event of Default. When there is an Event of Default, Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, in an Event of Default under Section 9(B), immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all of the Advances. The demand may, at Bank’s option, include the Advance for each Financed Receivable then outstanding and all accrued Finance Charges, Collateral Handling Fees, attorneys and professional fees, court costs and expenses, and any other Obligations.
